Chapter Nine, Little Tadpole is Looking for Mother

The musician, despite her wealth and the exquisite luxury of her clothing and daily necessities that she had never experienced before, found herself in a place fraught with hostility, feeling only the difficulties of her situation. She increasingly longed for the days when she would sneak meat from the kitchen of the old Hu family and roam freely as a constable.

Chu Yu sighed quietly

After that day filled with chaos, for several consecutive days, no one came to ask Chu Yu to go anywhere

Although the room of the head of the Qin family is spacious, with doors both inside and outside, she cannot escape the feeling of being watched, making it inconvenient for her to do anything

Madam Liu Er's almond-shaped eyes flashed with a hint of gloom as she said softly, "I am here to make a deal with you, young lady"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yu halted her steps, scrutinized Madam Liu Er for a moment, and with her arms crossed, stated: "I must make it clear from the outset that I will never engage in acts of murder, poisoning, or arson"

Madam Liu Er, seeing this, felt somewhat anxious. Chu Yu was not someone to be easily deceived. She gritted her teeth and straightforwardly said: "Miss Chu, do you not wish to leave the Qin family? I have a way to help you leave the Qiankun Courtyard. You should know that without assistance, you will never be able to leave the Qin family."

Although she is merely trying, it may not necessarily appease this capricious great demon king

Chu Yu looked at the bowl in his hand, and her face instantly turned pale: "I suddenly remembered that my stomach hurts, I need to go to the bathroom!"

A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Lady Liu Er's eyes, yet she sighed softly and said, "Miss Chu need not worry, I do not wish to make things difficult for you. I have heard that you were taken here by someone from Qinshi, and I initially did not believe it, but having just heard your words, it is indeed true."

Seeing that Chu Yu was staring at her without speaking, the maid felt a bit anxious. Noticing that there was no one around, she immediately approached Chu Yu and whispered, "Miss Chu, you do not recognize me anymore, I am ... ... "

The body reacted before the brain did. Chu Yu suddenly lunged forward, hanging directly on Qin Sheng's arm, lowering her voice to chuckle in his ear: "Hehe, my dear baby, your mother loves you... What do you want to eat or drink? I will feed you!"

Wuwu... it's my aunt! My aunt!" Chu Yu, with her mouth full of snow frog, struggled and shouted in despair.

As Chu Yu listened to that gentle and magnetic voice calling her softly, it felt as if a gentle breeze brushed past her ear, sending a tingling sensation through her, causing her to shiver involuntarily. She covered her heart and couldn't help but mutter to herself, how infuriating; this person's voice was so enchanting it felt like a sin, perfectly suited for flirtation. Fortunately, he maintained an aloof demeanor; otherwise, who knows how many women would fall under the spell of his long robe.

"No matter what you want to do, I will not accompany you," Chu Yu said, and then she intended to pass by her and leave

Good. His eyelashes were slightly curled like the feathers of a phoenix, his amber eyes shimmering with a subtle light, and the corners of his lips slowly unfolded into a smile reminiscent of a gentle breeze crossing the clouds, leaving Chu Yu in a daze.

The weather has gradually turned cooler, and Chu Yu has been staying at the Qin family for more than two months.

Chu Yu looked at Lady Liu Er's affectionate demeanor, yet blocked her path with her body. Instantly, she became alert. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why is Lady Liu Er dressed this way? Is there something going on?"

"Mother." A gentle and soft voice sounded behind Chu Yu

Between gods and demons, it is nothing more than this

Chu Yu was standing by the window, gazing at the surroundings. Upon hearing that call, her brow furrowed slightly, and she felt a sudden sense of unease and shortness of breath

She has been planning for these days and has taken such a great risk to come here; how could she possibly return empty-handed? Although she does not know why Chu Yu is trapped in the Qian Kun Courtyard, at least she knows that Chu Yu wants to leave, and this presents a very good opportunity

She has not forgotten the deep disdain in the eyes of those musicians as they looked at her, their flattery being nothing but a pretext, either deceitful or thieving

The Qiankun Courtyard, though traditionally as impenetrable as an iron barrel, houses servants and housekeepers whose identities differ from those in other courtyards, all of whom are skilled in martial arts, with backgrounds that are even less known. It is fundamentally impossible to infiltrate the Qiankun Courtyard. If it were not for the recent incident involving the head of the family, Qin Sheng, which led to some oversight in the Qiankun Courtyard, she would have had no means to inquire about Chu Yu's whereabouts

Qin Sheng quietly watched her embrace his arm with lowered eyes, the amber gaze shimmering with a faint light. Just as Chu Yu felt a chill running down her spine under his focused gaze...

... ...

Having said that, she immediately stepped forward and began to whisper softly in Chu Yu's ear

"What does my matter have to do with Lady Liu Er?" Chu Yu said coldly

Those people from the Jinzi generation always find ways to make things difficult for her. She only became their master for a brief moment; it was not by her own choice

In the past two months, she has transformed from a frightened bird at the beginning to someone who can eat and sleep well, although there is a slight inconvenience at night—she must sleep in the inner room while Qin Sheng sleeps in the outer room, as he seems to need to watch over her in order to sleep soundly

She jumped down from the window and, somewhat irritably, said to the person in white behind her: "It's my aunt, my aunt!"

This woman is not wrong; without any assistance, she truly has no way to leave the Qian Kun Courtyard, but she is not a fool to be taken advantage of

"How much longer must I be trapped here?" she murmured

How did she find herself in such a predicament, unable to advance or retreat

I fear that the day when Qin Sheng awakens will be the day when she has no place to be buried.

Chu Yu was taken aback, and suddenly turned her face to see a maid-like woman walking out from the adjacent washroom

Of course, she is equally unable to escape from the Qian Kun Courtyard, which occupies the largest area of the Qin family. Not to mention that the Qian Kun Courtyard is arranged according to the principles of the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams, with formations that change daily, rendering the exit fundamentally inaccessible. Furthermore, there are shadow guards monitoring her in secret.

Qin Sheng had no idea that she was fantasizing about herself, and gently said: "The snow frog and papaya have been stewed, nourishing yin and tonifying the kidneys, which is most suitable for a little aunt with such a thin and emaciated body like a ghost."

Shh! Madam Liu Er immediately made a gesture for silence, nervously peeking out from the restroom to look around, confirming that no one was paying attention, before quickly leaning closer to Chu Yu and smiling, "That's right, Miss Chu has finally recognized me."

Qin Sheng looked at Chu Yu for a moment and smiled: "Auntie."

However, the great demon king in front did not calm down, and perhaps the next one to be embroiled in this would be herself

Upon seeing this, Lady Liu Er felt a surge of joy in her heart: "Rest assured, it is absolutely not to make you commit any heinous acts. This matter is not difficult for Miss Chu."

She does not want to be used as a pawn in internal conflicts by others, as her situation in the Qian Kun Courtyard is already difficult

Ah, I truly despise such a sycophantic and disgusting version of myself

She only felt that this maid had a graceful figure, exuding a strong scent of cosmetics, and her swaying movements resembled those of a mistress rather than a maid, as her lowered voice could not conceal the arrogance within it

"Is Miss Chu actually trapped in the Qian Kun Courtyard?" A woman's voice, lowered in tone, suddenly sounded behind Chu Yu

Even as the qinsheng, her talisman, he does not know when he will awaken, and he fears that by that time, she will be even more unable to extricate herself, not knowing what kind of death awaits her

Behind her, there was always the ever-watchful, pressing presence of the great demon lord

Chu Yu washed her hands and gazed at the flowing water in the green bamboo pond, suddenly feeling a tinge of melancholy arise in her heart

Lady Liu Er? ! '' Chu Yu finally remembered who the maid with the enchanting and shrewd face, characterized by willow leaf eyebrows and upturned eyes, was, and could not help but be taken aback

Having said that, she turned around and left

... ...

However, it is not without its benefits; Qinsheng is always by her side, allowing her to at least avoid the danger of losing her life. She can sense the hostility of those in Qiankun Courtyard, such as Jinyao. If it were not for his concern about Qinsheng's presence, he would have likely chopped her up and thrown her into the creek to feed the fish!

The image of Lady Shen San's "Human Tree" flashed through Chu Yu's mind in an instant, causing her to shiver involuntarily

Moreover, considering the age of the maid, this person seems rather old.

Chu Yu's gaze trembled and slyly glanced at the straight and beautiful long legs beneath the qin sheng robe—one wonders if even the celestial beings exude such ethereal charm while diligently twisting their waists in bed.

Indeed, this fairy cannot enjoy the blessings of beauty. Not only does she unconsciously spew venom from her mouth, but she is also constantly fed with the disgusting eggs of the forest frog. She feels as if her belly is full of forest frog eggs, and with a burp, a tadpole could emerge. In a few days, she might end up croaking behind her like him, calling her mother.

... ...

Oh dear, he is that little tadpole looking for his mother, but she is really not that frog mother!

Even Aunt Jin and Jin Yao fell silent after hearing about the events at Tianfeng Courtyard, and for the time being, did not come to trouble her

But before she could take two steps, her collar was grabbed, and Qin Sheng gracefully pulled her back, bringing the bowl in his hand to her lips, and sighed softly: "Mother, Old Jin said that your health is weak, and if you do not often nourish yourself, you will surely meet an early demise"
